Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 119 One Day!

At that moment, there was only Jin and Kalie in the Order Hall that Hasik is staying. Kalie looked at Jin and then said.

"This is already out of our scope, we should contact the Divine Path Sect about this issue."

Jin pondered a bit and then said.

"The soul techniques here are extremely important for our Makui Planet. If we do as you say, we are going to lose everything. I think it's better to gather the heads of the main powers and discuss it with them first."

Kalie then said.

"If the Divine Path Sect finds out that we were keeping it a secret, they will probably punish the powers of our Makui Planet heavily."

Jin's face changed a bit since he knows that too.

"Anyway, this is beyond our scope like you said, let's report everything to the higher-ups first and let them decide what to do. We did our part and secured the Secret Realm as we are told anyway."

Kalie nodded and then asked one thing to Hasik in front of her.

"Do you know what those who escaped had taken from this place?"

Hasik nodded.

"I have a full understanding of the Mohie Sect Dimension Formation, so it's easy to find out what is missing. They took away a few training rooms and life-supporting formations and equipment. Also, they took some of the medicinal herbs in the garden, but nothing much."

Kalie and Jin were surprised by what he said.

"Does it mean that they didn't take anything of value?"

Hasik nodded.

"Everything of importance is still inside the dimension. But I don't have any records if they passed the Mohie Sect test, so I don't know if they checked the soul cultivation techniques or not."

Jin and Kalie let out a sigh of relief. At least they didn't lose anything that matters.

"It's evident that they left everything back on purpose. That way, it wouldn't make much sense in spending a lot of resources to bring them out."

Kalie then said.

"But they might have copies of the soul cultivation techniques. Is it okay to let them be?"

Jin just shook his head.

"We don't even have a clue to start with. As far as I know, they might still be inside this dimension. Or maybe they already left through that last gate. I have already sealed the entrances and am having everyone checked, though."

Kalie nodded. From now on, it's not their problem anymore. They then exchanged a few more information with Hasik and left to take care of other things.

Mile was still inside the Secret Realm. She had helped a lot during Krune's escape. It was because of her that the cultivators and demon beasts were far away from the fourth gate when it opened. After that, she blended in the middle of the Core Formation Stage cultivators who were part of this mission.

Even with the check, it was very easy for her to leave. Not to mention that she was listed as one of the demon beasts that came for the exploration. She also had a direct recommendation letter given by Bary. After that, she went back to the Mercenary Guild and reported everything to him. Inside Bary's office, Mile and Bary were alone while she was telling him what happened.

"I understand. I still didn't get any information about Krune after he left there, which means that they made their escape successfully. We need to wait to see what he is going to do. If I'm not wrong, he is probably hidden inside the core region of the Raskie Danger Zone. There is no doubt that the demon beasts there are doing a full-scale search. So it will take some time before he can move again."

Mile nodded.

"Krune is very intelligent and cautious, so he won't do anything idiotic in the meantime."

Bary nodded. If he didn't have confidence in Krune, he wouldn't have let him go in the first place.

Mile then looked at Bary with a playful smile and said.

"Now that my mission is over, I want my reward!"

Before Bary could even say anything, she had already jumped to his arm and hugged it tightly! Bary saw that and had an annoyed face.

"Why are you always so clingy? I could pay you back as I do with any other Mercenary, you know?"

But Mile immediately shook her head.

"Don't wanna, this is the best payment ever."

Bary saw that and just shook his head. He isn't clueless like Krune and knew what she felt for him. He told her hundreds of times that it wouldn't work between then, but she never gives up. The problem is, his own resolve had been shaking recently. No man could possibly remain unfazed after so many years of dedication, not to mention that Bary Casfiu isn't engaged with anyone. Also, Mile is indeed a beauty when she is in her human form.

Bary then looked at Mile, who seemed to enjoy herself very much and patted her head a little. Mile knew that her years of effort were starting to paying off. Years ago, he wouldn't even let her stay too close to him.

Suddenly, Mile's eyes lit up!

'Chance!'

As fast as lightning, Mile tried to steal a kiss from Bary. Too bad, though. Bary is still a Divine Soul Realm cultivator, after all. Before she got close enough, he had already disappeared from the spot.

Without looking at Mile, he turned around and said.

"I... I have some other issues to take care of. See you later."

Before Mile could even answer, Bary disappeared without leaving a trace behind. Mile, of course, was fuming!

"One day! One day I will definitely catch you!"

Around a month had already passed. Back in the Raskie Danger Zone, Krune had just sent the wisps that had recovered their spiritual energy inside the pocket dimension. During the last month, the demon beasts had been looking for Krune everywhere. It's not like they didn't think that their targets could have hidden underground. Just that they didn't believe that Krune could have gone so deep. Because of that, even their underground search turned fruitless.

After an entire month of search, the protectors of the core region of the Raskie Danger Zone had finally given up the search. First of all, they didn't even know if there had ever been someone there to start with. Whoever it was, they don't believe that they could have gone so long without being found. So they simply called off the search and reported back to the other powers that they didn't find anything.

But they weren't worried anyway, they had already received the news that the Secret Realm had lost almost nothing. Everything important was still there for them. As for whatever that might have been taken away, there is nothing they can do if they can't find the culprits.

Krune decided that it was already time for him to go up again. He didn't know what the situation was, but he couldn't simply stay underground forever. Moving underground was also out of the question, as it would take years for him to leave the core region if he decided to do that.

Krune then started to ascend while keeping his Divine Sense spread for around ten meters only. He doesn't want to alert other demon beasts with his Divine Sense, after all. After taking his time to go up, he finally exited the earth after a few hours. Krune, of course, already had his Tribulation Lightning layer around him. He then asked Little Light help again to check if there was any Divine Sense scanning the place.

"I can't feel anything, which is understandable. They didn't even know if you really entered their region or not, so it makes no sense to keep searching forever."

Krune then returned to his human form but kept that layer of Tribulation Lightning around his body. Although it spends more energy that way, he can't walk around using his wisp form, after all. With Little Light's help, krune started to move away from the core region. But it's always better to play safe, the core region had too many Core Formation Demon Beasts, so he moved with caution.

Back in the Mercenary Guild Headquarters, the Long-Distance Teleport Formation started to shine. After a few seconds, a Thunder Hawk demon beast appeared with a flash of silver light. That was none other than Tasier who came to keep his Deal with Krune. Tasier looked around and asked for information related to Krune and the others on the counter.

"I'm sorry, Krune's team received an important mission from the guild, so they are not here at the moment."

Tasier was surprised by that. He thought Krune would stay in the headquarters to keep his condition for the Divine path Sect Entrance Exam.

"Can you tell me where he has gone?"

The attendant shook her head.

"It is recorded as secret by the system. You are also part of the Mercenary Guild Alliance, so you should know what it means."

Tasier nodded and then gave up. He can only wait for Krune's team to come back. For them to have left during this time, it is bound to be something very important. Even Ao and Shinja had gone too. He was just about to look for a demon beast room to stay when he noticed someone he knows.

"Yo, Lofa! You are here for Krune and the others too?"

Just like Tasier, Lofa Harcken had come to show the results of her training and get some more pointers from Shinja. Of course, the main reason was that she wanted to see Krune.

Lofa noticed Tasier and complimented him back.

"That's right. I just arrived yesterday, but Krune's group was gone by the time I came."

Tasier nodded, he then pondered a bit and asked.

"Are you in the mood to spar a little? Back in the Thunder Hawk territory, there wasn't anyone at the same level of cultivation and combat power to practice with me."

Lofa had to admit that it was the same case for her. After the improvement that she had gone with Krune and Shinja, her peers couldn't put much resistance anymore. She even had a headache with her family elders, who kept pestering her about how she became that strong. Of course, she wouldn't share her abilities without Krune or Shinja approval.

"Very well, it's better than to keep wasting time here anyway."

And just like that, they spent their time between cultivation and sparing once a while.
